"That, however, is only today's story. In an interview with Markus Rex, acting senior vice president and general manager of the Novell Open Platform Solutions business unit, Rex said that, "Novell will continue to work with both Microsoft and Citrix. It's important for Novell to be able to support Vmware, Citrix's Xen, and Microsoft's Hyper-V."
